Look at us, baby, up all night
Tearin’ our lives apart
Are we the same two people who live
Through years in the dark, oh

Every time I try to walk away
Something always seems to make me stay
And I can’t tell you why
Hoo...

When we get crazy, it just ain’t right
(Try to keep you head, little girl)
Girl, I get lonely too
You don’t have to worry, hold on tight
(Don’t get caught in your little world)
‘Cause I love you

There’s nothin’ wrong as far as I can see
We make it harder than it has to be
And I can’t tell you why, oh, no, baby
I can’t tell you why (Just listen to me)
I can’t tell you why

Hoo...ooh...ooh...
I’ll never let you go

Every time I try to walk away
Something always seems to make me stay
And I can’t tell you why, oh, no, baby
I can’t tell you why, just listen to me
I can’t tell you why (Oh, no, baby)
I can’t tell you why (Just, oh)

You’re my only lover
I won’t let you go
Hoo... (Hold on)
Just listen to me
(Just) Hold on (Hold on)
I love you, girl (I can’t tell you why)
(Hold on)
Said ooh... (Oh)
(Just hold on)
(Never let it go)
Never let it go (Hold on)
